awk -e

[Dave Hammond]

In article <418 at marob.MASA.COM> I (somewhat assumedly) inquired about
the untimely demise of the awk `-e' option, and if anyone else had missed it.

Well, I guess this is one of those little gotchas that occur once in-a-while.
I've since discovered that there is no `-e' documented in any of the awk
manual entries, back to before I ever used Xenix.  Whatever the obscure
reason was that prompted me to stick a `-e' in the command line, I have
no clue.  Stranger still is that the damn thing worked (right up until 2.3).
I suppose since I was never challenged, I A.S.S.U.MEd `-e' was required.

"never mind" :-) :-)
